Molten Smelter Slag 75

A reduced flow of S Slag falling from the launder into a Kress pot. During the copper ore concentrate smelting process the matte copper seperates from the majority of impurities resulting in a floating Slag layer inside the furnace that is then drained (tapped) off into large Kress pots and transported to a cooling location. The temperature of the slag is generally about 2350 degrees Fahrenheit.
